About Turfmarkt 57, Makkum
The asking price is 93% above the neighbourhood average of €465,717, and it is the most expensive of the 23 homes currently for sale in Makkum. However, this is a detached house with 221 m² of living space on a 664 m² plot, built in 1850, a rare combination. The average price per m² in the area is €3,438, so the price per m² here is higher, reflecting the historic character and large plot.
The home has energy label B, which is good for a house from 1850. It means the property is reasonably efficient, though older homes often have higher heating costs than modern builds. In the neighbourhood, only 19% of homes have label A, and 9.5% have label B, so this is above average for the area.
The plot measures 664 m², which is generous for a village location. The house itself has 221 m² of living space.
